Madeley and his co-host Susanna Reid interviewed Winter Thomas, a 20-year-old survivor of the blaze that ripped through a New York apartment building last night (9 January).
Richard Madeley has been criticised by Good Morning Britain viewers for his line of questioning towards a victim of a fire in New York that has killed 19 people.
Madeley then questioned Thomas about how she had seen people jump from the building to try and escape the fire.
Another tweeted: “Am I the only person who thinks it’s completely inappropriate to be questioning this young girl after the New York fires?
